The Courier Mail & Sydney papers have both the swans & lions front & back pages.
Also tickets are impossible to get. How exciting is this!!
While the NRL preliminary's will barley sell out.
What a great week this is for Australia's game!!
Tickets are always hard to get dickhead
the aflol flogs 50K off to corporates, theres about 30K for the 2 competing clubs ( members ) & the rest to the public
This has nothing to do with the AFL clubs who are in it in 2024
The NRL prelim will be sold out by tomorrow afternoon , they'll be barely anything left by the end of today

I would hope the NRL prelims will sell out. Especially the Storm game which is on Friday in Melbourne, which also has a public holiday for the AFL GF parade.
It would be extremely embarrassing if they didn't sell out in their tiny 27,000 capacity stadium. But time will tell I guess.

No need to hope petey , no one will be embarrassed either .. they'll sell it out & the fact its a free hit down there on Friday will mean its sold out very quickly. It would have sold out regardless even up against another derpball final if there had been one on , Storm Prelims at AAMI always have in the past no matter what else was on.

The Storm had a prelim in 2009 vs the mighty Broncos at Etihad stadium ( the AFLs second stadium in Melbourne which holds 52,500) & only got 27,687.
How embarrassing is that.

That was 15 years ago , & I also said AAMI you dribbling AFL twerp
Etihad is a shithole & terrible for rectangle sports

2015 29,315 Nth Qld
2017 28,812 Broncos
2011 28,580 Warriors
2016 28,150 Canberra
2018 26,621 Cronulla

Petey boy, lies don't cut it pal. There is no fumbleball on the front page of the Sydney Daily Telegraph. The back page is 9/10 Rugby League with a tiny fumbling pic.
The Courrier Mail's main back page story and pic is about the Brisbane Rugby League Grand Final. Yep, essentially a local 2nd grade comp trumps the Loons.
Now go and wash ya mouth out with soap pal. Your 'reputation' is shot lolololololol!!!!!!!!!

Norths Devils beating the Dolphins yesterday in the QRL GF dominated Brisbane sports news yesterday , now they have 2 weeks off to prepare for the interstate challenge on GF day against the winner of the NSWRL GF being played this Sunday , North Sydney V Newtown
could be Norths V Norths
but anyway
the Wions aren't getting any more of a look in then last year in Brisvegas for GF week , which wasn't much as it was

They might be Petey. But you just can't tell bald faced lies pal. I'll keep an eye on the papers this week and hold you to account.
Why do fumble fans always resort to outright lies. They're incredible. And not in a good way.

Storm members snapped up their entire allocation of tickets ( 20K ) in 2 hrs this morning ... could have sold them every ticket if they'd been allowed to buy them ... Roosters allocation ( 5K) is pretty much all gone too
the remaining tickets (5K ish) go on sale tomorrow morning at 10am to anyone that wants them ... they will last
10 minutes

Pretty much as would be expected I’d say ? Anything less would be not a great look.

The AFL has a dream grand final coming up, so get ready for the final stages of the take-out to happen.
